we had a fantastic stay at el encanto! the tropical gardens were filled with wildlife and the pool was such a refreshing escape. our room was cozy and the breakfast was delicious, making our time there truly relaxing.

limited vegan options at breakfast.

This place is a hidden gem! The beautiful gardens were a highlight of my trip, and we enjoyed spotting wildlife like sloths and lizards right outside our room. The beach is just a short stroll away, and the lively town with its shops and eateries is also within easy walking distance. Breakfast was a daily treat with fresh fruit, homemade bread, and various options, though having the eggs served alongside everything else would improve the experience. Overall, it was a perfect place for our little family getaway while exploring the nearby Cahuita National Park.

It was just a perfect match for a brief retreat in Cahuita with decent value for money. Enjoyed the refreshing pool area, a great spot to unwind after exploring the nearby park. Bring snacks, as the on-site restaurant prices are a bit steep.

Cottages were perfect with beautiful grounds and refreshing pools. Customer service lacked during breakfast with limited vegan options.

I loved the gorgeous gardens and wildlife around! The breakfast was a delicious spread of homemade bread and fresh fruit, with a rotating selection of main dishes. Our suite was spacious, perfect for our family of four, and we enjoyed spotting sloths and toucans nearby. The staff went above and beyond for our anniversary, and the pools were a great way to unwind.

Spent 4 nights in a Double or Twin Room at El Encanto. The gardens are stunning, with vibrant tropical plants and plenty of wildlife. I spotted sloths relaxing in the trees, which made my morning. The pool temperature was perfect for a refreshing dip. Breakfast featured fresh fruit, homemade bread, and a rotating choice of eggs or pancakes. However, the limited options for vegan offerings at breakfast left me wanting more variety. The staff provided exceptional service, creating a warm atmosphere. The only downside was occasional noise from the kitchen above my room, but it didn’t disturb my sleep too much. Overall, a lovely place to unwind and explore Cahuita.

We loved the gorgeous gardens and wildlife around! The daily fresh fruit at breakfast was a hit, and my mother appreciated the outdoor seating. Staff were super attentive, making our stay enjoyable.

My wife says that breakfast could use a bit more variety.

El Encanto is a tropical paradise! The gardens are immaculate, filled with vibrant flora and abundant wildlife, including friendly sloths. The private terrace of our Superior Bungalow provided a perfect spot to soak in the beauty. Breakfast was a delightful spread of fresh fruit, homemade bread, and varied main options like pancakes or eggs, all served with unlimited coffee!

Who knew? Not me!

Staying here was a delightful surprise! The beautifully landscaped grounds were teeming with wildlife like sloths and iguanas. We enjoyed peaceful evenings in the pool and a fantastic happy hour with two-for-one large drinks. The friendly staff went above and beyond, making our anniversary special. A true hidden gem!

nice place to stay but some improvements needed

The wildlife sightings were incredible, with sloths lounging in the trees and vibrant birds singing all around. The pool area offered a refreshing escape, allowing for relaxation and recreation in a serene setting. I appreciated the garden view from my room, which made mornings even more delightful.

Breakfast choices could be enhanced.

Spacious room with a lovely garden view and the added joy of spotting a sloth nearby was memorable. Breakfast featured an impressive selection of homemade cakes and fresh tropical fruits, elevating the experience each morning. Although the location was generally quiet, occasional noise from the kitchen above our room was mildly noticeable. The service was friendly but could have been more attentive during peak hours. The pool area, while picturesque, felt slightly cramped at times, especially when it came to sunbathing space.

Great place with cozy rooms and amazing landscaping. Wish the laundry service was faster.
